Bariatrics & Weight Loss

If weight loss surgery isn't the right option for you or you have had surgery and want to stay at a healthy weight for years to come, Novant Health offers non-surgical treatments to help you meet your weight loss and long-term health goals.

Medical Weight Management 

 For those who prefer a non-surgical medical management approach to weight loss, Novant Health Surgical Services offers individualized programs through our weight loss specialists at Presbyterian Bariatric & General Surgery Matthews, Carolina Surgical Clinic of Charlotte, P.A. and Southeast Bariatrics. You may wish to consider this approach if you:

• Are not ready to undergo a bariatric procedure 
• Need to lose weight before knee, back or bariatric surgery 
• Have re-gained weight after bariatric surgery 
• Have insurance that requires you consider other types of weight loss programs prior to their approving bariatric surgery.

At Presbyterian Bariatric & General Surgery Matthews, Carolina Surgical Clinic of Charlotte, P.A. and Southeast Bariatrics, your personal medical management team will perform a complete evaluation of your condition including your medical history, physical examination and a comprehensive blood workup to identify vitamin deficiencies or other physiological issues that may impede your weight loss efforts.

Your program may involve: 

• Behavior education 
• Appropriate treatment with medications 
• Metabolic testing
• Body composition testing.

In most cases, we will begin providing nutritional and exercise guidance immediately and will update your program as you progress.  Our goal is to help you achieve long-term weight loss success by providing effective and compassionate care that is as individual as you are.
